Boo (2005)

Well first off that is a very simple title for a somewhat average movie.
True there isn't going to be much said about it.
It has the story you have seen before that is pretty typical
a group of friends plan to have some spooky fun in an abandoned
Hospital/Asylum that has a urban legend about it being haunted
and they quickly find out how true the legend is.
Also it appears that one of the group has somewhat of a link
with the Hospital/Asylum's past.
First off one good thing about this movie is that it didn't
look or appear cheaply done the production set up and design was
actually quite good. The characters were likable for the most part
and also the acting was pretty good as well.
This didn't have alot of effects or gore in it either
there were some gooy scenes and some nice practical effects
but nothing you really haven't seen before, As well as
the visual effects they were pretty standard "ghostly" ones
but nice all the same I felt there were more near the climax/ending
of the movie. Also the opening scenes before the main title
kind of reminded me of the opening scene of the fist Scream.
but all in all it wasn't a bad movie but not the greatest as well.
if you like the " Group of teens/20 somethings trapped in a haunted
house/Hospital/Asylum/cabin/whatever" type of movies give this one a try.

Cop Out (2010)

The Kevin Smith directed but not written by him police comedy
You can tell that Smiths hands are on this with thing with
comic book and star wars references and other Director Trademarks
even some of Smith's friends appear as usual.
Now I thought this would have promises and thought it would be good
and it did have some nice directing as well as music and the writing was
pretty good but I didn't feel this feel as a whole was all that good..
There is some nice references in here one of the best is one to
do with "Die Hard" and Wills character reply's "I've never seen that movie before."
Now it did have some humorous scenes like the above mentioned and the one with
the kid car jacker but I don't think this movie was funny until Seann William Scott
ended up in the car with Willis and Morgan. Every scene with Seann William Scott
it was awesome and funny. Scott and Morgan have an amazing chemistry together
and just seemed to bounce off of each other you can watch the scar scene and
almost tell that Willis is trying so hard not to crack a smile or laugh.
but that is about it the movie was alright but I don't think it even came close
to being as fun or funny as "The Other Guys" and they are similar movies.
There is also a funny scene during the credits as well but the only thing that
really saved this film was Seann William Scott alone or in the scenes with
Tracy Morgan. Other then that I didn't find it was all that good. it was ok
but not good.

The Other Guys (2010)

The Other guys

I remember seeing the trailers for this and thinking it would be a funny movie
and I would have to say I though right.
It is I would say an Action comedy with buddy move elements
and has a very good cast who I think really shine in this.
Your basic story is as follows Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
are your stereotypical Action Hero Cops who engage in over the top stunts/explosions
gun fights, One Liners and Sexy Women. They are the Heroes of the city everyone
loves them and they are on top of the world...and then there is the Other guys
Will Ferrell who plays a some what odd yet nave Detective who would rather
enjoy his desk job then be out in the field and this partner played by
Mark Wahlberg who is somewhat hot tempered and has anger issues but dreams
of being in The Rock & Jackson's spot. (Wahlberg & Ferrell come off as the
stereotypical buddy cops) After the humorous demise of The Rock & Jackson
in one of their over the top stunts Wahlberg & Ferrell end up stumbling on
to a big case and have their chance to be the heroes and save the city.
Now personally I thought this move was incredibility funny
There was some narration by Ice T that adds so much to this and makes
it so funny. The action and stunts were all done with a comedic
feel to them even the as I mentioned above he humorous demise of
The Rock & Jackson's characters. The music in this I felt fit
and added to the humor at time.
There were alot of very funny parts that you have to laugh becasue
they were at time a bit odd like the singing parts and the weird
type of drinking/ getting drunk montage where it look almost like
a beer commercial. Also the bribe scenes with Wahlberg & Ferrell
were great fun. Also the visit to Ferrell's character's ex's house
was kinda weird but the recounting of his past was rather funny and
just highlights how clueless he is.
all in all this was a great movie it starts off with a bang and then
rolls out the laughs.
also the statistics during the end credits were cool and also there
is a scene after the credits as well.

Splice (2009)

Didn't this come out a few years ago and was called Species?

Now with that being said it does share some similar ideas
with the above mentioned film, Instead of using of using
alien DNA they use some kind of animal DNA I think it was
maybe some type of reptile where the creature (who becomes
know as Dren) seems to move in almost a lizard like fashion
I would think.
Anyway to start off I am an enjoyer of logos when I watch anything
a nice logo says alot about people and the one for Copper Heart was
pretty nice. The opening title sequence was pretty cool it in
a way reminded me of Hollow Man. That is what I would people
consider this a cross between Hallow Man and Species
where they are working with cloning instead of invisibility
I found this to be a classic story where scientists
(played by Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) create a creature
who eventually gets out of control and people are all
"What has Science done?!?" and they are forced to face down
the creation and stop it.
A couple of things made me snicker while watching this
one being where they work which is called N.E.R.D
(which stands for Nucleic Exchange Research & Development)
but seriously, Nerd? they couldn't come up with something
better then nerd? also that is where the creature get its
name Dren is just Nerd slept backwards.
One of the other thing that kind of made me snicker is
the slug creatures that are used in the movie looked
like Penises! am I the only one who thought that?
take a close look at the creatures (refereed to as Fred and Ginger)
and you well notice that they look like a large penis.
a few other things is you would think they would understand
The whole thing with keeping it confined that they would know
that the creature would have basically human curiosity
being that it was part human and is willing to lean and want to
explore and that it would develop some type of verbal skills
but doesn't actually talk until the last few minutes of the film.
There was a interesting almost role reversal in this as well
where the guy wants nothing to do with the creature but
the woman becomes attached to the creature and treats her like
a daughter until it attacks her and knocks her down. Then
it changes she is more of the aggressor and shows anger toward
the creature and the guy becomes more attached and begins to
show affection towards the creature going so far as to have
sex with it.
All in all this wasn't a bad movie the effects both
visual and practical as well as make-up were pretty good
there was some slight nudity in it and the ending
leaves it open to a sequel (think kind of what happened
in the fly and where the Fly II started)
but like I said it wasn't bad it does have a bit of a
flare of originality but at the same time you feel like you
seen it before.

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)

Not just Zombies but Zombies in..3D!!

Filmed using the same technology James Cameron pioneered to bring the world
Avatar is used in the newest chapter of the Resident Evil saga which explodes
to brilliant life on the screen as we follow Alice (Milla Jovovich) as her and a band
of surviors enjoy their afterlife.
Taking place a few months after the Third film (Extinction) we team up with Alice and
her clone army to take down the Umbrella HQ and then set off to what out what happen
to her friends who made their escape to Alaska at the end of the 3rd film.
She is shortly joined by new and old friends as they try to survive in a world over run
by the Undead.
I felt this movie didn't focus solely on the zombie aspect which was somewhat good
since that is what the previous films had done. This one is more about survival and finding
a place in a world over run with flesh eating monsters.
The Zombie make up and effects were very well done as well as both the physical and
and visual effects were very good.
As for the 3D? well that alone was truly impressive! it gave a true feeling that things such
as bullets and debris were actually flying at or past you, also stuff like blood or
water seemed to splash on your face.
The 3D was so good on the action scenes it was something that was beyond cool.
As for the action itself in general it was fast and furious at times and at other it was slowed
right down and very stylized. I personally think this movie is dripping with cool.
The story was good and can see this film being the wrap up for the series
(I heard they were only optioned to do 4 films) The action was pretty good you felt
and understood the characters especially Alice who feels she is responsible for everything
that has happened and is trying to atone for it. In the end I loved this move its a bit quick
with its run time (97 minutes) but I felt like it was longer probably becasue I was enjoying
it so much. Anyway if you enjoyed the previous ones you'll probably love this.

Only one question remains: Who would win in a fight between

The Axeman
(representing Resident Evil: Afterlife)
VS.
Pyramid Head (red)
(representing Silent Hill )

This Film Is Not Yet Rated (2006)

its Documentary time!

In this serious but fun Documentary about how the MPAA rates the various film
you and I watch and examines the mysterious process on how its done and also
looks at various films such as "Boy's Don't Cry", "Jersey Girl", "But I'm a Cheerleader",
"The Cooler" and many other and discusses why the films received the ratings they
did and talks to the filmmakers and critics to get their point of view and how they believe
the system doesn't work for them being they feel censored or down right forced to change
things that under mine the story or narrative because someone somewhere deems it
"offensive"
Now I thought this was a pretty good and it had a very good opening credits.
I also thought that the film makers, critics and film historians have
very valid points, as well as some humor. The film goes in to the history
of The MPAA and the ratings board as well as talks about its creator Jack
Valenti and the Iron Grip he hand over it.
Probably one of the The funnest scenes in the film is when the guy
who is making this submits a copy to the MPAA for a rating
and they call him and give him the rating of NC-17 for
graphic sexual content! he tries to talk to them on the phone
about how they came to that and what their decision process
is and they are not having any part of it and don't want to
answer any of his questions. It is a nicely filmed scene
and like i said probably the funniest part of the whole film.
In the end this was a very good Documentary it was serious
at times but was also light hearted.
It does have some nudity in it though and in the
end credits there is a scoreboard table that shows how many
nipples, asses ect that were in the film.
but it was good I like it it.

Halo Legends (2010)

Now I bet people are thinking I have watched this in gleeful
anticipation of Halo:Reach (OMG! Halo:Reach!) the apparent final game
in the series. They would be wrong in that assumption being that I'm not
a fan of Halo (Gasp! Blaspheme!) and I do not even own a Xbox (because its huge?)
I did though play some Halo 3 at some point and am familiar with the characters and story
but like I said I'm not a fan.

I mainly watched this mainly becasue it was animated, That's it.
Now this is one of those Anthology things with a collection of stories
similar to Batman: Gotham Knight (2008) and The Animatrix (2003)
but it has more in common with the The Animatrix.
Where it shows thing that I believe you do not see in the games
like the History of Halo in the first 2 shorts which are called
"Origins" . Each Short has it own unique style as it tells its story
with in the Halo Universe. Many of them are very Dramtic, serious and
action packed where as the I believe the 5th one (there are 7 in total) called
"Odd One Out" is more comedic and will probably get a chuckle out of you.

The the shorts were very well done and each ones different style was
very good and it felt like it really lent itself perfectly to that particular piece
the animation was good as was the music and I think any fan of Halo would
really enjoy this.

Vampires Suck!

With a name like that it is true on many different levels. I don't have to much
to say about this other then it was absolutely hilarious! I laughed and laughed.
Basically this is somewhat of a parody of the first two Twilight movies (Twilight&New Moon)
and also throws in a few other thing as well. The story is basically Becca moves to the town
of Sporks to live with her father, she soon falls in love with the vampire Edward while
being "hounded" by a native American boy Jacob and the bits and pieces this love triangle
brings.
Personally this is pretty much how I remember the first 2 Twilight movies.
But seriously I felt this was well written the jokes and references were funny and hit each
time and some of the gags were great like the fight scene at the first between
"Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" was the first big laugh. Then there were scenes
like the Sleepwalking one, as well as the Dancing Wolf Pack.
and the Ghost Edward was great every time he tried to do something and failed
it was all "Meh, I tried" . I just thought it was a funny movie. It did have a kind of an
abrupt end to it. While watching this I kept wondering if the Becca character was in anyway
related to Anna Faris' character of Cindy Campbell from the Scary Movie Series.
But like I said I thought this was funny and it was well done in my opinion and worth a
watch if you are tired of the whole Twilight Mania give this a peek it might just have you
laughing.

Machete (2010)

I Remember going to see the "Grindhouse" Double feature
and seeing the orginal Fake trailer for the movie Machete and thought to myself
if that was a real movie I would probably go see it!

Fast forward a few of years and it brings us to here..

Machete! the actual movie!!

So true to my word I went to see this movie and how did I think it was?
I personally thought it was wonderful! It was truly awesome.
Right from the start it has the 3 things every kickass action movie needs
Babes, guns and plenty of violence. (especially the one girl at the beginning
that he is trying to save, she was crazy hot!!) With an all star cast his one was
truly great.
It does have that wacky retro look with the film grain and frame jumps and
a bit of what looks like wonky editing just the like the Grindhouse films had
which adds alot to its charm and presentation. One of the things I was thinking about
with this film would it be a Spin off being that is came material created for another
movie or would this be just considered a part of a series?
As for thing like the writing it is laughable and everyone's acting is a bit goofy
and over the top but that is what it is suppose to be in this being that I see it as
somewhat more of a Satirical Film and pokes a bit of fun at how movies use to be
and at some serious current issues.
The action as well is good but at the same time it is so over the top to the point
that is is almost cartoonish and you have to laugh at it but at the same time you have
to acknowledge how cool it is .
One thing that really caught my attention was the music, The music alone was
amazing. I was thinking every time something played I was thinking "wow that's
really good!" But the action and humor are what is the winning combination.
The bit with the weedwacker was great, the political commercials were funny,
as well as the thing with the hospital gurney was a nice trick and the thing with the
guys intestines was funny as hell! also what was up with the guy who drew everything?
I also liked how Michelle Rodriguez's characters house was a total dive on the outside
but was really nice on the inside.
Now also we can't forget Lindsay Lohan naked in this and then her as the
"Machine Gun Nun" just Lohan as a nun? that is pure comedy gold right there!
But yes like I said this movie was great fun and yes it had all the scenes from
the original trailer so it all fits in together.
But yes the movie was awesome especially at the end, it was a silly film
that will make you laugh and keep you entertained.

Coming soon.

Machete Kills and Machete Kills..Again.


Side note:

Yes on a side note involving Alex Jones, Yes everyone's favorite
conspiracy theorist and all around nut job is taking this movie a
little bit to seriously and is saying that this movie will with a
"90% chance" start a race war! now if you think I'm making this
up there is the link where he is of course shouting at Robert Rodriguez
through youtube blaming him for starting the race war and being a pawn
of the global elite. That is all we need is crackpot Alex Jones to ruin
everything fun. I'm surprised that being Resident Evil: Afterlife is now
playing he is not blaming Milla Jovovich for the coming of a Zombie
Apocalypse. but hey there is still time maybe he didn't see that one yet LOL.
anyway the above mentioned link is here.

G.I. Joe

Just a side note I recently finished watching the entire G.I. Joe 80's Animated Series
including both the Animated Movie as well as G.I. Joe: Resolute

G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987)

With its recent release on DVD I picked a copy up and being that
I haven't seen it in years it would be quite the watch.
It is of course wonderfully animated and features a new opening theme
different from the show but not as good as the theme for the
Transformers Animated movie.
also I noticed there was some music used in this that was used in the
Transformers one. The Cobra-La chant is still stupid after all these years
and one of the funny thing is in the opens credits is where it lists
Sgt. Slaughter as Sgt. Slaughter
honestly who else is going to be Sgt. Slaughter?
but this was a great DVD transfer the only thing that it lacks was some
special features like a "why we did a movie" that type a thing but it is
good all the same.

G.I. Joe: Resolute

I must say I was extremely impressed by this.
it was beautifully animated and felt more like a live action feature
then an animated project. It is more for the adult fan then for little
kids there is plenty of violence and blood. Its pretty much I think
on pare with the DC and Marvel animated features when it is more grown up.
It does feature all the familiar favorites and even some familiar voices
Steve Blum (Wolverine in both Wolverine and the X-Men & Hulk VS.)
plays Duke. There is a few changes in it such as Dialtone is a Woman in this
as well as some references to the series.
In short if the Live Action Movie "Rise of Cobra" is how everything started
then this would be how everything ends.
All in all I loved this it was perfect and wouldn't mind seeing more like this.
Also there is a Scene After the end credits.

Now you know and Knowing is half the Battle.

Robin Hood 2010

In this re-teaming of Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe come a grim and
gritty adaption of the legendary character of Robin Hood. Now personally
I know of the story much like pretty much everyone else
I have never read the "original" story it was always through various media
that I learned of the character hand the world he inhabited being real or not.
I grew up with the Animated Disney film and then in the 90s was wow by the
amazing Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves which of course stared Kevin Costner.
I personally think Prince of Thieves is the definitive version of Robin Hood,
some might disagree but that is what I think anyway so when I first started
seeing the trailers for this new Robin Hood I wasn't really speak to me and
I usually like these types of movies but it didn't click so I said pass when
it hit theaters. So I had the chance to view it recently on video and I would
have to say I was not very pleased.
Now I don't know if this film was based on the original story or not
but Robin Hood to me has always been a light hearted character Grizzled
hardened ex-military who just really cared only about money and sometimes
the well fair of the men under his command. Also he is Not Robin of Locksley
(or Loxley as the case may be) in this he is Robin Longstride who somewhat
becomes a "Loxley" later on in the film. That is one thing I felt was different
all the names especially the last names are different in this version for the story
Now the title cards at the begin where it gives a bit of background before
the movie begins was a interesting thing. One of the things that I thought
was cool was the scene at the beginning of the film where the the woman
(who apparently turns out to be Marion) makes a pretty good shot with a
arrow to scare off some intruders from her property.
The film itself had some good points such as the production design was
quite impressive and the cinematography was very good there were some
very nice shots in this both scenery wise and action wise.
also the action was very good as well it was fast paced at times and very
hard hitting, But that also didn't work in the films favor as well the pacing
I found in the first hour I didn't know what the hell was going on? its like I
was all what are they doing? who is this guy? what the hell are talking about?
it wasn't until the actual second hour (the films run time is 2 and a half hours)
when Robin and company arrive in Nottingham that the movie even
seemed enjoyable and moved a bit more slowly in pace where you could
grasp what is going on. Another aspect of of the film is I didn't find anyone
really recognizable other then Friar Tuck I couldn't tell who was who until
someone said this is "such and such" and you have that "oh..ok?" type of
moment like for example I noticed Kevin Durand (who played Fred Dukes / Blob in
X-Men Origins: Wolverine) was in this and and he seemed to be Robin's right
hand man and Robin referred to him as John a few times so I said "I assume
this is Little John then" another thing was the dwellers of "Sherwood Forest"
are just kids kind of like the "Lost boys" from Peter Pan. Now some would say
that my complaints are invalid becasue this is the beginning of the story nothing
has reached that familiar point yet. Which is true and the end of the movie is where
it is most familiar you can see the I guess you would say the journey of the Hero
when Robin of the Hood as he is referred to in this goes from being this somewhat
hardened self centered person to someone who has compassion and is willing to
stand up and fight for the people that can't fight for themselves it is in a way
kind of like Batman Begins crossed with Braveheart.
In the end I felt like I didn't really enjoy this movie as much as I should have
like I said it wasn't really enjoyable until the I'd say second half also like I
said Robin Hood is always seemed more light hearted to me where he relied
more on being smart and crafty where this one
seems to be more about being able to punch harder and out fight everyone.
I'm sad to say I'm happy I didn't waste the money to see this in the theater.
but also it did have a very neat closing credits where it had this animation effect
that looked like an animated oil painting. that was pretty cool.

Twilight: ECLIPSE

The 3rd chapter in what some call the greatest motion picture
saga of all time...TWILIGHT!

Now I will have to say I'm not a big fan of the Twilight saga
I never read the books I'm not all OMG! TEAM EDWARD/JACOB!
I'm a dude who of course is straight I could care less about this
I only watch it becasue it is popular and I am just trying to
assess why it is so popular.
Now surprisingly this will not include any jokes, puns or jabs
to the series like my toughs on the Second (New Moon) did
becasue this was of course surprisingly better then the first 2
especially the second one.

This one had a pretty good start to it almost on a horror
level which was quite interesting. After the opening title
we meet up with Bella and Edward as she is still pushing the
issue of being turned into a vampire and he does spend most
of the movie trying to dissuade her from making that choice.
and not only he is doing it by Bella had a what I felt was
a real heart felt talk the blond vampire Rosalie about not
becoming a vampire.
Not only is various vampires trying to dissuade Bella, but also
Jacob is as well but as I watch I feel that he is somewhat doing it
for selfish reasons also most like he only wants her to to stick it
to Edward and be able to say that he won. That the way I see it
anyway. I also found there is alot of awkwardness between
Bella and Jacob you can see that she does like him and does care for him
but at the sometime she doesn't care for him as much as he does for her
and any romantic affection does feel forced.
Also there is an abundance of scantly clad men running around in this
I know this is primarily for women but holy crap! In like I'd say
90-95% of the the time Jacob was on screen he was shirtless wearing
some shorts. its like wow.. there was a scene where is was snowing
and he was running around in just shorts.
There is a scene with Jacob and Edward are trying to protect Bella
and Edward turns to her and says "Doesn't he own a shirt? "
which made me laugh becasue I couldn't agree more.
One thing I did really like in this was the flashbacks
The one about how the Vampires meet the Wolves and the story
Rosalie tells Bella and the one about Jasper I felt that they
actually fleshed out the characters more for someone who didn't
read the books which was very good.
I also like the scene where Bella is visiting her mom
I that that much like the scene with Rosalie was very heart felt
her mom was excited about Bella's future but at the same time
Bella is in a round about way trying to say good bue to her.
it is a bit of a sad scene but doesn't look overly sad
As for the rest I thought it was quite nicely filmed
there were some very nice scenic shots as well as the effects were
better in this then in the previous 2 especially the wolves I found they
were more realistic in this.
The battle where the Cullen's and the Wolves team up to take on the
"New Borns" was nicely done as well. but one thing had me thinking though
whenever a Vampire was hit it sounded like glass breaking or grinding?
also when a vampire lost a limb it was very crystal like on the severed
end? why is that? that is one thing that hand me thinking...
Anyway as I said this was quite good, it was better then the first 2
and especially better then the second. It had some humorous parts as well
as some nice action through out.

Videodrone

Actually a Canadian movie staring James Woods!!

Now everyone talks about this on and I didn't have the opportunity
to watch it until now and I would have to say it was a pretty interesting
weird little movie.
If you haven't see it before its basically about
this guy named Max (Woods) who owns a little TV station
in Toronto which is basically a station that shows alot of
trash tv and he is out looking for the next big thing to
air on his station when he stumbles across something called
Videodrone (its basically a show where people get snuffed
thinking of what happened to the backpackers in Hostel
and then having those torture events streamed live on tv)
but unbeknown to him he does know that the signal carries
a subliminal message and shows it to his girlfriend and
tries to get it for his station and that is where is all
goes wrong and he begins to succumb to the the madness
and crazy hallucinations as the Videodrone takes hold of him
and it becomes a race against time to find out what it is and
how to stop it!
Personally I thought it was a pretty different movie
it was odd and interesting, but I found that it wasn't
a very long movie though.
Also it was one of those ones that does challenge
your perception of reality and what is actually
real, also the movie does a good job of making you
question what is happening and what is going on
through some nice editing and giving it a sense of
confusion.
The effects in this were pretty wild but also
somewhat cool like the whole scene of Max
touching and kissing the TV that was all
pretty neat with the screen effect as well as the
sides and panels throbbing and pulsing.
along with the pulsing Videodrone tapes were
cool also. But I was wondering about a
few thing like the ear piercing scene
what that real or was that fake?
and what about the gun? where
did it go when he stuck it in the stomach slot?
was it there the whole time right up until
he pulled it back out? or did he not stick it
in there at all and that was just a dream?
also some weird things while watching this I kept
thinking to myself that the apartment of James Wood's character
had a very nice layout..I know its an odd thing to think about
also there was a sign in the glasses store that read
"we accept personal cheques" its odd to see a business doing that.
anyway this was a pretty good watch it made me thing
it was a bit like a cross between "The Ring" and "8MM"
but it was pretty good if you like the crazy mind bending, reality
warping movies give it a watch.

Also after watching it I took a look at the trailer
and there is nothing that has to do with the actual movie
in the trailer other then a couple of still shots
the trailer is completely animated with 80s CG effects. lol

MacGruber

MACGRUBER!!! *que explosions that sound like a panther or other large cat roaring*

Now I have heard alot of negative things about this film but
like always I would rather experience
it for myself before I form an opinion, I know I'm crazy like that.
anyway... This is a SNL (Saturday Night Live) movie that is a
parody of I would say the 80s action-adventure films and TV as you can
tell in the main character is a parody of
the character Macgyver (which was played by Richard Dean Anderson)
which I myself did watch as a kid.
Now I would have to say that this film had a good start to it and the opening
titles and theme where pretty funny but I would have to say that is where it
pretty much stopped, becasue there wasn't many or even hardly any laughs
after that, the movie itself was somewhat stupid and I kept wondering if the
MacGruber character was retarded in a servery mentally challenged type of
way and was actually wondering about the competency of the people
who were entrusting him with the fate of the world.
I personally would rather Austin Powers on my side then MacGruber.
Also a in 80s action movie fashion the "hero" get some love from
his love interest which I didn't need to see in this case being the scene
MacGruber looked like he was a chimp being electrocuted in some way
and to make things worse after that awkward scene the has another
with the apparent ghost of this dead wife! which was twice as worse
also the running jokes of the celery stock up the butt and MacGruber
being a little to eager to suck everyone's dick weren't funny at all.
I have to feel sorry for Val Kilmer who played the villian in this
he was great as the villain too bad the hero came off as someone with the
IQ of a sponge.
One of the funny parts in the film as the cameos of WWE superstars
(Chris Jericho, Mark Henry MVP, The Great Khali, Kane and The Big Show)
who were MacGruber's unit before retiring and now live civilian lives
